I'm glad that Dion wants to get better, but the fact that he didn't play as well at LT last year shouldn't be a feather in his cap. At least not if you're looking for the line to improve.
If you want to hang your hat on PFF exclusively, then you should probably research Nsekhe a bit more than simply posting his overall grade, since he actually graded out better at LT than Dawkins in 2018. His lower overall grade was due to his lower grade when playing LG.

If you’re a team in need of short-term tackle help, there may be no better, or cheaper, option than the career backup. Calling him a backup does a disservice to how well the 33-year old has played in Washington though. On 1,287 snaps across every single position except center on the offensive line over the last four seasons, Nsekhe has a pass-blocking grade of 76.4 and a run-blocking grade of 70.

And again, this isn't about Dawkins or whether or not he can play LT. This is about doing what's necessary to get the best OL combination on the field. If that ends up being Dawkins at LT and Nsekhe at RT, great. If that ends up with Dawkins kicking to LG, then that's great too. There's no reason to be legalistic about it.
Look don’t act irrational I just showed you according to off Dawkins is ranked 5 higher not to mention our starting second year qb is familiar with him protecting his blind side. Don’t act ridiculous any normal person can see the advantage. Nsekhe isn’t even close. Maybe in training camp but definitely not now.

So you'd rather go with a LT that admitted he played poorly in his second year instead of exploring options to upgrade because of familiarity?
That's not a good way to protect your young QB
No I’d rather go with the best rated lt who is Dawkins. That he admitted he could play better is a feather in his cap! THANKS!

Happy birthday Sean. Oh how good it feels to know the clown show is gone!!

The best five from 2018 weren't good enough players, so I'd imagine very few options would've gone well.
Nsehke's best grades have all come at LT, but he also played OG in 2018, where he's not as effective.
But that's not really the point.
Nsekhe has shown that he can be at least as effective at LT as Dawkins was last year, while Dawkins has shown in his short time at guard that he can be downright dominant at that spot.
"Don't mess with it" is a philosophy that is reserved for the successful; try-fail-adjust is what this team needs to be doing. I don't care what the final 5 looks like, but they should be exploring every possible option and combination to get it right.
I disagree. For the team’s sake. What is more important for the offense and qbs is knowing what you have at lt. Which the o coord and tne qb both do oh by the way the guard doesn’t protect the second year rookies blind side.

1) no idea how one could call Dawkins a cornerstone at this point
2) there are few hard and fast rules to this, but "get your best five on the field" is one of them. If that means moving Dawkins from a position at which he could be "just fine" to one where he can be a pro bowler, then that's absolutely appropriate
We tried that best five in the field ordeal. Didn’t quite cut it.
1. Piece of mind knowing what the 38th overall ranked tackle (https://www.profootballfocus.com/nfl/players/dion-dawkins/11818) can do in your offense with comfortability to your qb is better than trying to reinvent the wheel.
2. Replacing your starting right tackle that is ranked higher than the one you just picked up (https://www.profootballfocus.com/nfl/players/ty-nsekhe/7636) for the sake of moving him isn’t good for anyone.

No need to move Dawkins.
Dawkins/Teller/Morse/Long/Nsekhe
100% never good to move a cornerstone one of which is very our rookie qb is very comfortable with. Lets not reinvent the wheel.

With so many FA signings I doubt that trading down in round one is an option (unless it's combined with later trade ups).
However, say hello to trading up if McBeane see a player that they want.
They can sit tight and get the 3rd best edge rusher, 2nd-3rd best DT, over draft a TE or they can go get their guy. They will go get their guy.
Wat? They can and will do whatever is the best course of action for this team in their opinion. Whether that’s burn the draft cards to the ground and walk away or trade up to the top of the draft. Beane has made it abundantly clear that all options at all times are on the table.

I’m not embarrassed at all. I actually feel like its a blessing to wear it; and do so with reverence.

Why? He’s done more than just play for the team. Believe it or not he is providing a decent example to the young kids on the team. He knows he wasn’t going to have a crazy year last year and didn’t go all antonio brown diva. On top of that he is also showing that it’s not what the sports media is portraying buffalo to be a I.e non attractive. In addition to this he still is also a huge piece of the team. So I wouldn’t even attempt to do this to a integral part of the team; one of which also was important in establishing a true culture change in my favorite team.

It feels GREAT to not have an incompetent gm in Whaley running our show.

There is no way this has any merit. If we wanted him he would be on our team. It’s complete speculative garbage.

Just as many said including myself. Bean is right. Just because they didn’t sign a player doesn’t mean he didn’t want to be a Bill.
There are a multitude of reasons players might not become Bills that have nothing to do with the worn out garbage some spew.

I guess go ahead and swallow that spoonful if you want to. AB blew the thing up because he didn't want to play in Buffalo, period.
I Guess I need to start reporting more posts. Was never my thing though.
Oh my just as I said you are completely and utterly wrong:

It's pretty tough to get guys with level of name recognition to come to Buffalo.
Another account? Cmon man be better. It’s not hard read what Sean stayed. They originally inquired due to ABs performance on the field. Then they started their due diligence (I.e. checking him out other than football abilities) at which point they didn’t pull the trigger. It most assuredly wasn’t money. They have proven they aren’t affraid. So stop with all that it’s hard to get so and so to Buffalo. It’s a tired worn out and quite frankly ignorant statement.

Curious what people think would happen after we made all the recent moves to upgrade the wide receivers,
You draft him, unless you rob another club and trade down.

About 40 million spent in two days...this tells me we should overtake the Patriots now.
I don't see it.
Nobody has overtaken the patriots including one of the best teams in the nfl the rams. Until Brady is gone it doesn’t matter if we have drew brees, Julio Jones, Todd Gurley, or a Madden roster. If that is your barometer to which you measure NFL teams there are currently 31 failed FOs.

Avid bills fan for 30+ years. As such I stumbled on this website after the BBMB shutdown ( very thankful).
I read much more negative thoughts on the current front office than positive thoughts. Especially in regards to “filling out the team”.
Im not going to push anyone’s buttons, I’m just curious to see current thoughts regarding the teams front office from all of you up until this point.
Im very optimistic, I believe it’s tremendously easy to spot FO folks that are in completely over their head (Whaley, Russ).
Granted our newly acquired players have not taken a snap yet, however I feel as if the team is on a uptick with much more actual functional talent as opposed to yesteryear hype.
Whats your thoughts?

A guy that is worse than your current lt can’t be your lt. Especially when hen your qb ( 2nd year ) is comfortable with that lt.
